Well dang! Look who had an 0-5 turn! sigh... I guess I should actually start challenging and avoiding.

Trip - its ads@reality.com and just write 'Arena 81 personals' in the subject line.

Here's hoping for at least a good replacement or some good skills...

'ladies'? Who are you, my high school P.E. teacher??

Welcome back, Trip

For me, a decent 3-2 on maintenance, strats must have been late, and the useful avoids vanished !

Yahoo!! A team in 21st place, but a Duelmaster on the throne!! Only in Ameri--- (ahem) Alistari!

My personal ads didn't show up either, and I mail them in with my turn sheets, printed on the back of the blue paper we get.

Welcome back, Tripwire.

3-2 for the Guild.

Ironhead has frustrating - he had almost the exact same stats as Gremlin Stew, and even outscummed him twice, but just couldn't keep up the same win percentage. Not that 29-21 is bad, but it isn't what I had hoped for. Frustrating.

It is also frustrating to have missed writing a column. Sorry about that. Life at home has been such that things like ads and columns get missed. But hopefully not turns. Let me have the throne again and I'll get one penned.

3-2 with a DA for the Diner. Crisco Kid loses but learns six skills on his last fight. Too bad, Kid, you're still retired. Couple of marginal rollups will be getting a chance in the arena because I'm sick of DAing.

I think the difference is that Stew was running favorites his whole career. Medium shield and parry tactic. I suspected I had faves about halfway through his DM streak.

2-3 was a bit of a disappointment. I kind of thought it was possible this turn, but was shocked my new guy won. Ahh well so hard to predict these things.

Hare Binger
He is a wall of steel with ST=12(1) CN=11(1) SZ=9 WT=17 WL=21 SP=3 DF=13; quite good at +4 attack. I think he gets to fight in ADM if his faves aren't utter junk. Come on BA or SC.

Anyway, good luck this next turn. I am hoping Cat N Tonic can gain the Throne.

The Clan goes 2-3-1 with a failed bloodfued and a kill in the Dark Arena. Welcome back Tripwire. I also think that Stew is one luck SOB!

Yeah, that did become obvious. Ironhead was nowhere near his faves, which obviously made a difference. Longsword, M/L is not what I was running, although I almost certainly tried that strat at some point.

A 2-3 for the Cult. Learns were much better this turn. I went 2-2 on my challenges. 1 Challenge loss was strictly for the skills, the other was kind of a surprise loss, but when you make a blind challenge, you have that chance of getting beat down!

I see Floyd's Mothership dropped below the Cult on the career side, now to focus on LP!

I had almost the same idea

But Im still abroad, so I could be again on maintenance, or with the strats sent for the previous turn ? By the way, all my apologies if a challenge goes the DC way...
